1829 - Geographical Atlas of the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Poland, and the Grand Duchy of Finland

This atlas by Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev (1758-1835) appears in several repositories on the internet, including earlier versions which were corrected in this 1829 version. These are georeferenced (searchable by coordinates and current place names) on the David Rumsey Map Collection website. The full atlas can be viewed there as well. Those maps shown here are the provinces that make up what is considered the Black Sea region, although some of these would not have German settlements until the mid-1800s.
